I don't have anything to contribute, but I would like to note that this article is just plain cool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.189.89.95 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 15 January 2006

I can't help but agree. However, the second link - to Mark's Weblog - seems to be broken. Attention please! I'll remove it if it's still dead in a few days. Jobjörn 01:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Closed AfD Discussion

I didn't get a chance to change my vote on the AfD discussion before it was closed, but I just wanted to say for the record that I think we should KEEP this article, as some editors have done fine work to cite sources that weren't there when I originally voted. I'm so glad that y'all did this work, because I personally think the topic is very interesting and I liked reading about it.OfficeGirl 19:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could do with a littlebit more discussion, like a "Reception" subsection, how people reacted to it, etc (I'm assuming they did, since these were the old naive days of the interwebs) 94.212.39.49 (talk) 17:06, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
